The Olentangy Trail extends from Worthington to the heart of Columbus, tracing the scenic route along the Olentangy River. This trail meanders through popular parks, recreational facilities, and preserved natural spaces.

Delawanda Park, spanning 58.3 acres, offers a peaceful green space for visitors. Nestled alongside the Olentangy River, the park is a great destination for year-round enjoyment. With its well-maintained walking trails, including a bike path, the park provides opportunities for both leisurely strolls and active pursuits.

The Union Station Arch stands 35 feet tall and is a Beaux-Arts structure designed by Daniel Burnham. This is the centerpiece of McFerson Commons Park, but it was originally part of Union Station's grand High Street colonnade entrance, completed in 1899. The arch features intricate Corinthian columns, friezes, and angel reliefs. After Union Station's demolition in 1976, preservationists saved the arch, relocating it first to Arch Park in 1980 and later to McFerson Commons in 1999 to make way for a parking garage.

The Olentangy River reaches 97 miles from Morrow County through Delaware County to Columbus, where it meets the Scioto at Confluence Park. Originally called "Keenhongsheconsepung," meaning "sharp tool river," settlers renamed it "Whetstone River" before a legislative mix-up in 1833 assigned it the name "Olentangy." The river serves as a drinking water source for Delaware County, while the Delaware State Park Reservoir is used for flood control. Restoration efforts, including dam removals, have reduced the river’s width and improved ecology.
